What gun stuff did you buy today?

[MTA]

I picked up an old Remington Nylon 66 today for $100. I say old because I saw that it didn't have a serial number so, I knew it was pre-1968. I got it home and according to the Manufacturer's Date Code it was made in July of 1959. 1959 was the first year of production of the Nylon 66.

It had some rust on the barrel and on the receiver cover. Someone had used sandpaper or steel wool on the receiver cover at one time so the blueing was already thin there. I oiled the barrel and receiver cover and went to town with some bronze wool. I got most of the rust off without damaging the blueing any more. While I had it apart, I cleaned all of the gunk out of it and everything looks good inside. I looked down the bore and it was smooth and shiney, no sign of rifling anywhere. I put some drops of 3 in 1 down the bore and ran a bore snake threw it a few times. Looked again and there was some rifling! I put more 3 in 1 in the bore and made several more passes with the bore snake. Now, it looks like a new barrel inside.

The plastic stock had tape, glue, paint, and who knows what else on it. I sprayed it down with Goof Off and wiped it all off. There are some scratches here and there but, all in all, it looks pretty good for a 62 year old gun. I'm looking forward to putting some rounds through it.

Don't you mean Mossberg? I have the Rossi version, works pretty good. I believe Rossi makes it for Mossberg.

Bought a new stealthy pistol range bag (I live in an apartment complex with nosy neighbors) and some new G10 grips for my M1911C from Amazon last night. Supposed to b4e delivered today.

No, I didn’t see the purple ones there.

Got this today, always been curious about them but never really wanted one. Now I’m ready to go try it out

Very nice, that is on my buy list!

Feels pretty cumbersome and I’m not a small guy

Ah sorry, thought you wanted clear. Shows how well I can read.

Little bit a ammo

What's a "little bit"

 

[SGHinds]

I was able to snag a Browning A-Bolt Medallion in 257 Robert’s today. I’ve been on the hunt for a 257 and love that I was able to find it in a Browning. They didn’t make many of these. Need to mount an old scope on it to get it to the range.
Need to find some brass/dies and **crosses fingers** a nice bullet mold to start casting for her.

 

[GP40X]

I bought a Hoppe's Bore Snake and a Range Maxx brass slotted patch tip for revolver cleaning.

Been thinking it would be handy to have a different caliber AR with different color furniture. Just bought a grey stock and grip for my 224 Valkyrie AR.
